Buried deep in a Welsh landfill, beneath layers of years-old garbage, there is a hard drive that holds the key to almost $800 million in bitcoin – or so James Howells believes, after accidentally throwing the drive away in 2013.
I saw one like this where a guy hired a hacker to get into his encrypted wallet device because he was sure it had like $100k in it. Guy broke in, pulled up the Bitcoin wallet and… It was empty. Dude had forgotten that he sold all his Bitcoin YEARS ago.
